My dog's tongue got cut by a frisbee. Bleeding stopped, will it heal?

Question

Hi so I just went to the park with my dog and wanted to try a frisbee out with him but I didn't have a dog frisbee so I took a regular plastic one and it cracked and then I saw blood on his tongue so I gave him some water to wash it out, and the bleeding has stopped and there are just 2 tiny marks on his tongue that are just red but not bleeding, it's just 2 small marks. Should this be fine in a a day ? Is there any worry ? Will it just heal soon ? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 72 lbs

It is good that the bleeding has stopped. Tongue cuts can bleed profusely and continuously when they are deep. However as long as the bleeding has subsided and doesn't start again Rocky should be fine. Continue to monitor him for the next few hours for any start up bleeding. If you do notice any profuse bleeding then you can try a cold compress on the tongue for a few minutes if he will allow. If not then a vet visit may be needed. However, if all goes well it is good to know that tongues are very vascular tongue is that it so heals fairly quickly. Give it a couple of days to heal. Take care of Mr. Rocky and be careful of those plastic frisbee's in the future.
